Abstract

A 1D numerical model of Nonlinear Shallow Water Equations (NSWEs) coupled to an advection equation for suspended sediment and a bed evolution equation is developed. The moving boundary at the shoreline is treated by a coordinate transformation method (CTM). An absorbing-generating seaward boundary condition in the transformed variables is also developed. The purely hydrodynamic component (NSWEs) is verified against analytical results. The NSWEs plus advection equation is verified quasi-analytical results. The fully-coupled model with bed change due to bed-load is verified against a single swash event and long-term numerical simulation. Excellent agreement is observed in all verifications.
